when i was little i used to watch cricket on tv with my dad.
He used to yell 1,2... watching the ball cross the inner circle...
i always believed that if ball crosses inner circle they score 1 run .......
Later if found the truth that runs are taken by batsman and not by the ball.
that was hilarious when i think of it now....
